About Us

Virginia Foxx’s Democratic challenger Roy Carter released a
statement today in response to last night’s telephone town hall.

“Once again my opponent refused to
answer the hard questions and provide honest answers to her constituents,” he
wrote.

Foxx’s town hall was broadcast live on WATA. During
the town hall, Foxx admitted there wasn’t a lot of opposition on the line- and
said all callers were welcome. Foxx said she faced opposition every day in her
office, and wouldn’t mind a few Democratic calls. Some callers alleged today
that their questions were screened and they didn’t make it on-air. Foxx's press secretary Aaron Groen says that’s not the case- Foxx made an effort to
answer all calls, he says. In fact, calls the town hall didn’t have time to air
were recorded as voice mail messages. They were resoundingly positive, Groen
says. The Town Hall lasted an extra half hour due to the call volume.

Roy Carter's complete statement as received by Aisling Broadcasting:

"My
opponent’s town hall conference call was nothing more than an hour and
half long campaign ad paid for by tax payer dollars. The last time I
checked, a town hall was located in the heart of a community not at the
other end of a telephone line that leads to Washington DC.

Once again my opponent refused to answer the hard questions and provide honest answers to her constituents.

Callers
who wanted to ask questions expressing their dissatisfaction with my
opponent’s shameful voting record were cut off and were not allowed to
speak on air. Every voice in this district deserves to be heard – not
just those who were cherry picked by my opponent and her staff.

In
this campaign, I will go to every town in our district and I will talk
with anyone who wants me to listen, regardless of whether they support
me or not. I will give our district the true and honest representation
that my opponent has failed to provide."
